Tori Godwin Poems

Thank you for loving me
Even though you did not show it often
Thank you for playing silly games with me
Because I always wanted to be around you
...

My slender feet graze the blades of grass
As my body moves with the wind, forward and back
The humble trees whisper a sweet, melodic song
To let me know I was missed and I've been away for too long
...

How do I tell you about my life?
When I haven't fully come to terms with it myself
How do I tell you what is wrong with me?
When I am not for sure, either
...

I stood on the edge of insanity to search
for myself, my wasted years, and you
None of these things I can find
My heart sinks lower once again
...

I’m wide awake, waiting by the phone again
The familiar paranoia slowly creeping in
Where are you right now?
Oh, why aren’t you here right now?
...

We met by random circumstances
And at once, I was intrigued by you
The way you always would have an opinion, but evidence to back it up
You were always able to make me laugh
...

The oceans rage within my heart
For another day we must spend apart
We belong side by side like sand and the sea
Yet you are not here with your arms closed around me
...
